node mount

jenny - mounted a nanobridge pointed at internet archive in Richmond, go an email back from brewster introducing to Jonah, saying we have permission to connect to their tower and mount equipment on, may also have access to Florida Ave tower, could see all the way to University and San Pablo intersection, may be able to see Chris J

marc - could see all of downtown berkeley, berkeley marina, node isn't fully up, because of power supplies issues. Dev's place was more difficult

mai - a larger conversation needs to be had about how we get people involved

scott - we spend a lot of time in meetings getting people started and teaching them and scheduling

jorrit - there's a lot of effort

~jnny~ the perfect way is without difficulty. strive hard! ~woo~

mai - the fact that the group has *not* grown is important to note — why are people not continuing to come to meetings or getting more deeply involved? also since we are a non-profit, we could try to get people involved as funders

jehan - having 6 people show up at a node mount can be intimidating

marc - the main problem is having enough people who are comfortable scheduling and mounting nodes

scott - doesn't go because he doesn't want to stand around

marc - maybe we should have a checklist/guide for node mounts

mai - do we have a toolbox

jenny - yes! as of sunday a new army backpack for it, too, instead of the old flimsy blue backpack. will make an inventory checklist
